Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging pile technology, specifically to an automatic load detection device for two-wheeled vehicle charging piles. Background Technology
[0002] In the current two-wheeled charging pile technology field, a typical setup consists of one QR code and two power ports on a single device. This presents several inconveniences in practical applications: First, after scanning the code, users still need to manually select the desired charging port to begin charging, undoubtedly increasing the complexity of the process. Second, the charging pile lacks indicator lights to display the current power port status, meaning users cannot directly determine if the port is functioning correctly; they can only find out after scanning the code. These current conditions and problems negatively impact the user's charging experience and ease of use, posing both a need and a challenge for the further optimization and improvement of two-wheeled charging piles.

The MCU control module 2 is electrically connected to the relay control module 3, the load detection module 4, and the LED indicator module 5.

[0022] The relay control module 3 includes a relay, a diode D2, and a switching circuit. The normally open terminal of the relay is electrically connected to a 220V AC mains power supply and a socket power supply, respectively. The coil terminal of the relay is electrically connected to the MCU control module 2 and the switching circuit. The diode D2 is connected in parallel to the coil terminal of the relay.

The coil terminals 3 and 4 are connected to the 10 and 11 pins of the MCU control module 2, respectively. This allows the MCU control module 2 to send high and low level signals to the coil terminals of the relay to control the switching state of the relay, thereby realizing the on / off operation of the socket power supply.
[0023] The power metering chip U1 is a BL0939 metering chip. Pin 1 of the power metering chip U1 is connected to the first step-down module. Pin 2 of the power metering chip U1 is connected to a protection circuit. Pins 14 and 15 of the power metering chip U1 are respectively connected to the MCU control module 2. The output of the resistor divider circuit is connected to pin 7 of the power metering chip U1. Pins 14 and 15 of the MCU control module 2 are respectively connected to pins 15 and 14 of the power metering chip U1.
[0024] The working principle of load detection module 4 is as follows:
[0025] In the load detection module 4, a current sampling resistor RL is connected in series in the circuit. When a load is inserted, current flows through this sampling resistor, generating a voltage drop proportional to the current magnitude. Simultaneously, the voltage channel, through a series of precise resistor divider circuits, reduces the AC 220V voltage to a mV level signal according to a certain ratio. This mV level signal is transmitted to pin 7 of the energy metering chip U1. The energy metering chip U1, based on this signal and the voltage drop across the current sampling resistor RL, combined with its own algorithm and internal register settings, can accurately calculate the current in the circuit. The result is transmitted to the MCU control module 2 via the UART interface. The MCU control module 2 judges the received data; if it determines that the detection current of a certain socket is greater than the set value (3-15mA), it considers that a load has been inserted into that charging port, and thus automatically... The system automatically determines which charging port is in use, eliminating the need for manual selection by the user. During charging, the power metering chip U1 continuously monitors current and voltage data and calculates the charging power based on this data. Every certain time interval (e.g., every second), the metering chip transmits the calculated charging power, current, and other data to the MCU control module 2 via the UART interface. After receiving this data, the MCU control module 2 compares the current value with the set 50mA threshold. When the current value is less than 50mA, the MCU control module 2 sends a control signal to the relay control module 3. Upon receiving the signal, the relay control module 3 immediately cuts off the power to that charging port, stopping the charging process.
[0026] The MCU control module 2 uses an N32G430K8L7 chip. The MCU control module 2 has a built-in timer, which is a timing module based on the internal clock source of the MCU control module 2. It can accurately keep time according to a set time unit. During charging, the MCU control module 2 simultaneously monitors the timer's time and the charging status data transmitted by the power metering chip U1. At regular intervals, the power metering chip U1 transmits charging current, voltage, and other data to the MCU control module 2 via the UART interface. After receiving this data, the MCU control module 2 compares the current timer time with the set charging duration. When the timer reaches the set duration, the MCU control module 2 sends a control signal to the relay control module 3. Upon receiving the signal, the relay control module 3 immediately cuts off the power to the charging port, stopping charging.
[0027] The input terminals of the first step-down module and the AC-DC power supply module are respectively connected to a 220V AC power supply. The output terminal of the first step-down module is electrically connected to the load detection module 4, and the output terminal of the AC-DC power supply module is electrically connected to the relay control module 3. The input terminal of the second step-down module is connected to the output terminal of the AC-DC power supply, and the output terminal of the second step-down module is electrically connected to the MCU control module 2. The first step-down module converts the MP150GJ 220V AC power supply to 3.3V DC voltage and supplies power to the energy metering chip U1. The AC-DC power supply module uses an A-60GB-12 to convert the 220V AC power supply to 12V DC voltage and supplies power to the relay control module 3 and the RS485 communication module. The second step-down module uses an LM117 to convert the 12V DC voltage to 3.3V DC voltage and supplies power to the MCU control module 2.
[0028] The input terminal of the LED indicator module 5 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the MCU control module 2. Under the control of the MCU control module 2, the LED indicator module 5 can turn on, off, or flash, serving as an indicator of the charging status. The on / off state of the LED indicator module 5 is controlled by the MCU control module 2 according to the different working states of the charging port. The MCU control module 2 is connected to the control terminal of the LED indicator module 5 through its corresponding output pins, and controls the on / off and flashing frequency of the LED indicator module 5 by sending high and low level signals to the control terminal of the LED indicator module 5.
[0029] The working principle is as follows:
[0030] When the charging port is in standby mode, the MCU control module 2 detects that no load is inserted into the socket and no charging task is in progress. At this time, the MCU control module 2 sends a continuous high-level signal to the LED indicator module 5 through its output pin. After receiving the high-level signal, the green light of the LED indicator module 5 remains on, indicating that the charging port can be used normally but no load is connected.
[0031] When a load is inserted into the charging port, the load detection module 4 detects the insertion signal and transmits it to the MCU control module 2. After receiving the insertion signal, the MCU control module 2 sends a pulse signal of a specific frequency to the LED indicator module 5 through its output pin. After receiving the pulse signal, the LED indicator module 5 flashes a red light, indicating that a load has been inserted but charging has not yet started.
[0032] Once charging begins, the MCU control module 2 determines the charging status (such as whether there is charging current) and sends a continuous high-level signal to the indicator light through its output pin. After receiving the high-level signal, the LED indicator module 5 lights up red, indicating that charging is in progress.
[0033] When the battery is fully charged (in the fully charged automatic stop mode) or reaches the specified time (in the specified time mode), the MCU control module 2 detects that the charging task is complete. At this time, the MCU control module 2 will send a continuous high-level signal to the LED indicator module 5 through its output pin. After receiving the high-level signal, the green light will stay on, indicating that the charging is complete.
[0034] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
